HOW THE SOLDIERS VOTE8


Under the above head lhe Toledo
Blade publishes the following inter
esting official figures aprOpOs Of the
claims OF the Democratic press that
there were as many, or more, Demo-
Gratis in the Union ranks as there
were Republicans:
In 1864 there were eleven states
which had passed laws TO allow their
soldiers I'm the field 90 vote al the
Presidential election, and thus ex-
press their party preferences. Me-
Clellan was the Democratic candi-
date, and he was a great favOrite
with the boys In blue. Many a Re
publican soldier i'm the Virginia
capins voted for Little Mac" be-
cause of a personal liking for his old
commander. Yet with this advan-
tage, the soldier vote was tremen-
dOusly large for Lincoln. Here are
the figures:

'fTHE total number Of appoint
ments 81 postmasters Of ali grades
during the year was 1903; total
number Of appointments for years
lSss and 1855 was 22,747, and 9,54T
respectively, making total for the
three years Of $3.50. The total
number Of POstofIiees Of all grades in
operation on July I, iSS7, was S. ,l57.
This Shows what a busy place the
appointment division Of the post
OiIlee department has been under
the operation Of a Cleveland civil
service reform administration.
Every zen minutes Of every working
day Of eight hours for the last thirty
months, including Sundays and
holidays, q new commission has
been made out. Democrats are very
ungrateful 10 complain Of such ser

democrats because ,he spoils ma
chine does not work faster Is all
shame and fraud TO cover up the
most wholesale removal Of eOmpe-
tent men ever known in the history
Of the country.
THE drift Of Republican opinion
as b pensions is illustrated by the
planks referring to this subject In
the platforms Of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Republicans. The former
is OutspOken aud bold IN its demand
for liberal pensions, as follows:
I'VE demand Of congress that Il
pass, and Of the president that ne
approved liberal enactments pen
siOuing the soldiers Of the country.
that the helpless widows OF dead
soldiers, regardless Of the cause of
death, dependent parents, and dis
abled soldiers shall receive the
bounty OF the nation they fought 10
save, and which they richly de-
serve
The Pennsylvanians also demand
q general pension for all old veterans
In the following paragraphs:
The soldiers Of the union are
worthy Of the lasting gratitude and
continued favor Of a restored govern

than in the enlargement Of the gen

ID. G. MILNER, pastor Of the Pres
byterlan church at Hutchinson, has
resigned on account Of insufficient
salary and refusal to pay Offa heavy
debt on the church. II is not very
many weeks, we remember, since il
was heralded with a great noise that
$4,000 had been raised on a Sunday
TO cover the indebtedness. Mr.. Mil
ner Is given a fine ''send-Ofi7' by the
press, in that "he is affable and APP
prOaehsble; a politician in so far
that he endeavOrs TO make cleaner
and better that murky pool; a BOOM
er, i'm that he speaks ever and well
Of Kansas; a practical man because
he deals with sinful mankind as he
finds It and not ON any idealistie
skeleton evolved in his closet"

IT IL stated that one OF the anus
ing features OF Pacific coast travel is
the great number Of Indian canoe
oars and paddles which tourists
bring from Alaska a. old Indian
relies. Most Of these paddles are
made and painted by Chinamen in
San Francisco, shipped 20 Alaska
points and sold as Indian relics,
brought down to Tacoma on the
steamers, and carried thousands Of
miles away. The Atlantic side is
not to be OutdOne i'm this regard,
judging from the number of orange
canes manufactured in New York
that are daily sent away by thOus-
ands as souvenirs from Florida.
Mr.. Barnum was right when he re-
marked that the dear public loved
to be humbugged.

q letter from Senator Ingalls,, de-

q meeting Of Republican politicians

calls It. The Senator's principal
paragraph which offends is a. fol-
lows:
Between the contagious virus OF
democracy and the senile gangrene
Of civil service reform the political
degradation of Massachusetts, Is
nearly complete.
The Senator's "wild and wOOlly

would preFeE that the truth be told
In terms not 50 harsh-if told at all.
But that is not the Senator's style,

These are the official figures; and
we know of no other trustworthy
way OF telling the politics Of the men

" Democratic soldiers saved the
